If there’s really such a thing as a “good” problem in sports, Arizona’s offense might have one.
The Wildcats averaged nearly 9.5 runners left on base per game, stranding 10 or more in 16 of 31 contests this season. Yet they’re 11-5 in those games, twice coming out on top despite leaving 14 runners on base.
So it goes when you have the fifth-best batting average in the country (.318) and rank eighth nationally in scoring (8.4 runs per game).
“When you have a prolific offense that we do, you’re just going to have more guys on base,” UA coach Jay Johnson said.
